CERsAT, 4. r., Oct. q, 1887.
As predicted, bountiful supply ol
water was obtained when the cross-cut in
the Flores Consolidated Mining Compa.
ny's well had been driven twelve feet, the
water coming through the seams in the
rock kissing and sputtcring like lesky
hose. This proves that water sufficient
for an SO-stamp mill can be obtained in
any Of our canyons II you only "go
after IT,"
Ere this has been read the whistle will
have been sounded, ~ steam will be
raised on Saturday morning for the pur-
pose Of lowering the pumps to the bottom
Of the we'll.
The mill has been entirely completed,
except the secret concentrators, at which

traitors, and does not allow even the
Superintendent TO know or see what he 10
at. One thing Is certain, however; II
they do not do what is required they will
be "snatched bald-headed" out Of the
mill and the good, old-fashioned process
put in, with which the company have
come provided, in case Of accident, you
know. Every one at all familiar with
the mine knows there is nothing above
the water-levei to concentrate but the
free-gold, and that should be done with
out carrying much else.
Foreman HeInsley has his car track in

OF 420 feet. He has encountered a good
many obstacles in crossing deep "gouges"
made by chloriders, and over which have
had to he built bridges. Here, also, con-
nection is made with the main shaft, and
as there is ground "opened" above, an
ore chute was constructed at the bottom
OF the shaft and ten men are now stopping,

enough more men will be put on, as there
is plenty of room IN the old works, and
they have tunnel connection with every

A Half Witted Boys Fearful Deed.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 2S.-Information
reached here last night OF a fearful tragedy
near Perida, on the Louisville and Nashville
railway. A half-witted boy, named Charley
Baker, had witnessed the killing OF the family
meat. Having been gone from the house
some time one morning With his brother and
sister, aged respectively four and six, became
back alone, his clothes covered with blood,
and told his mother he had killed them, show
ing a sharp hutcher-knife with which he said
he had done the work. Following him 70 q
spot in the wood near the slsughter-pep, the
mother, sure enough. found her younger son
and daughter stretched on the ground In a
pool Of blood, both with their throats cut
The girl was dead and the boy barely alive.
While the family were attending them, Charley
disappeared again, aud search being mede for
him shortly atterward, he was found a few
steps from the same spot dead, with his jugu.
lar vein severed, evidently by his own hand.
The wounded boy is mending slowly.

AGRICULTURE
The Annual Report of Commissions co
man Mostly Devoted 10 a Narrative of the
Work of Exterminating Cattle Disease,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The annual report
Of the commissioner Of agriculture Was laid
before the president to-day.
The commissioner recommends the aboli.
ton Of the seed division OF the department
and the transfer OF It's duties to the state and
territorial experiment stations. The commits
sloner disapproves the efforts 10 make the de-
partment an executive department with a
member OF the cabinet at lite head. The de-
partment's position, he thinks, should be
that of an advisor in those Investigations and
enterprises which bear upon the agricultural
interests Of the county. The work of the
lreau OF animal industry has been greatly
extended during the paet year. From the be.
ginning OF the work for the eradication u,
pleuro-pneumonia in August, 1856 to October
81, 1887, the inspectors Of this
bureau have inspected 1887 herds, contain.
ing l11,4SJ animals, IN distI lets where the
plague was supposed TO exist. Among these
there were found SIS infected herds, contain.
ing lo,766 animals, Of which 9, 1856 were affect.
ed with pleuro- pneumonia. These figures do
not include 2,S73 head OF cattle In the distl.
lery stables Of Chicago, nearly half OF which
were diseased. There has not been a time ia
wears when this malady has been confined to
such restricted areas as at present, and conse-
quently the conditions are very favorable for
its complete eradication by the end OF TIE
next fiscal year. The commissioner describes
the work Of the chronological, stats .lcal,
III :roscoplcal, forestry and other divisions.
He recommends that the public printer be au-
thoTized 70 furnish 10 the agricultural press Of
ne country, at the mere cost Of labor and ma
ial, electrotypes OF such illustrations Of the
department as the editor may desire. The
commissioner says the building Of reervoirs
among the Rocky mountains for the storage
Of az immense volume OF water now wasted,
should command the early attention Of con.
gress.

UPON the assignment Of fourth-cIass offices
